I used to only shave every 1-4 weeks (only trimming my neck line) because I didn't want to shave. It was not fun and often irritated my skin. I asked for and received a Parker Variant open comb razor for Christmas and I have been looking forward to my daily shave ever since. Plus, now I have a bunch of new things to learn about which I always love. So I am happy to be a part of the wet shave community.
I have started evaluating which blade works best for me. I have only tried a couple so far. For my first shaves I made my way through two of the Parker Premium Platinum blades that came with the razor. Now I'm trying Treet classic. I plan to evaluate a bunch of types of blades and then pick my favorite, so I started rating each shave.
I am interested in getting a shave brush but don't have one yet. I told myself and my wife that using a safety razor would be cheaper in the long run so I'm trying hard to get to the break even point before spending more money on my new hobby.
I am interested in getting a vintage Gillette safety razor with a butterfly opening, preferably with a black handle, because that's like the one my dad used to have. But I am trying really hard to be patient and put a lot more shaves on my current razor before getting another one.
